Building a conditional check constraint





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I'm trying to build a conditional check constraint for my table TBL_AFIL, which has two fields:




  • Fec_Renun DATE

  • flg_afil INTEGER


Constraint: IF flg_afil=1 THEN Fec_Renun can not be NULL.



ALTER TABLE TBL_AFIL
ADD CONSTRAINT FecRenun_Not_Null CHECK (Fec_Renun IS not NULL and flg_afil =1) ;


But it throws this error:



ORA-02293: cannot validate (FecRenun_Not_Null) - check constraint violated


But when I run this query, it returns 0 rows.



SELECT * FROM TBL_AFIL
WHERE FEC_RENUN IS NULL
AND FLG_AFIL =1;


I know that to this constraint I could add ENABLE NOVALIDATE, but I'm intrigued why can't build this constraint.

          • Equivalently, CHECK (flag_afil != 1 OR fec_renum IS NOT NULL)) (from De Morgan's Laws), or since the flag can only have one of two values, CHECK (flag_afil = 0 OR fec_renum IS NOT NULL)). I find the last to be the most intuitive.
